Building Code Violations in the Tri-State Area

NYC Department of Buildings Facade Inspection Safety Program, formally known as Local Law 11 of 1998, is a law enacted in New York City pertaining to the maintenance of all exterior facades of buildings 6 stories or higher. Inspections of buildings are required periodically by the Department of Buildings and if a filing report reveals an unsafe condition of a building, the law requires erecting sidewalk sheds, fences, and safety netting to secure the safety of the public.

A sidewalk shed (also known as a sidewalk bridge) is a temporary structure erected over a walkway to protect pedestrians from objects falling from a building. New York City requires a permit for this type of structure which is secured by the Sidewalk Bridge Installer. For additional information about sidewalk bridges in NYC, click here.
